“Balancing risk against reward, both Jared and Ivanka decided to accept roles in the West Wing over the advice of almost everyone they knew. It was a joint decision by the couple, and, in some sense, a joint job. Between themselves, the two had made an earnest deal: If sometime in the future the opportunity arose, she’d be the one to run for president. The first woman president, Ivanka entertained, would not be Hillary Clinton; it would be Ivanka Trump,” Wolff wrote in a preview piece published Wednesday in New York magazine.

Wolff also reports that Ivanka treats her father with a “degree of detachment,” and privately mocks her dad’s infamous hairdo.

“She often described the mechanics behind it to friends: an absolutely clean pate — a contained island after scalp-reduction ­surgery — surrounded by a furry circle of hair around the sides and front, from which all ends are drawn up to meet in the center and then swept back and secured by a stiffening spray. The color, she would point out to comical effect, was from a product called Just for Men — the longer it was left on, the darker it got. Impatience resulted in Trump’s orange-blond hair color.”

Fire and Fury also contends that Jared and Ivanka’s Jewish faith caused problems in Trump’s circle. Henry Kissinger, the former secretary of state, is quoted as saying in the book: “It is a war between the Jews and the non-Jews.”
